Plan to form Long Beach Grand Prix promotion group
A proposed agreement would transfer marketing and promotion duties to a new corporation from July 1 plus a $10,000 annual Creative and Communication Services fee for the Grand Prix and $10,000 monthly for ticket-revenue backed advances. The plan includes office space from June 1, 1977 at 555 B Ocean Blvd and later at the Pacific Terrace Convention Center, with multiple staff and equipment provided. City officials questioned legality and authority, while the private corporation contested the move as nonworkable and not voted on. A news release claimed a five-year formal contract for marketing, promotion and sales services was agreed between the Long Beach Promotion and Services Corporation and the Association.
